Wondering about the housing situation here and transportation. What type of housing is provided and is it close to the school? Does the school provide transportation? If not, is a car needed. Thanks!

Also looking for information about AS Dubai. The SA salary for MA+8 seems low. ASDubai website a little better, but still pretty low. Is cost of living low?

The package at ASD is lower then at ACS Abu Dhabi but they do offer a COLA. Housing is unfurnished and not in the most desirable location for singles. It is also small for families. They have a generous moving in allowance. The cost of living in Dubai is high. Food is expensive. Going out is expensive. Gas is cheap.

DAA is for profit and has a pretty high turn over. It should be a distant second choice for American options in Dubai.

I used to work at DAA. I agree, ASD is much better, but DAA was okay.
